Germany during the 1920’s and 30’s • Hit Germany very hard • Reparation payments needed to be made. • No longer had income from colonies and lost control over some German industry. • Many Germans lost their jobs facing homelessness and starvation. • Hyperinflation – the German currency became worthless as the government printed more money

Germany turns to Hitler • Germans wanted a strong leader who would “fix” the country. • National Socialist German Workers (Nazi) Party gained support and Hitler was elected as Chancellor of Germany
